Our efforts did not go unnoticed in 2017 as our corporate and individual donors continued to place their trust and support in our life-changing work. As a result of their generous contributions, we received over $350 million in donations to help us carry out our mission. It was a year of monumental growth, thanks to you! Through these generous donations, we were able to serve as a financial lifeline for over 88,000 patients – more than twice as many patients as in our previous record year in 2016, and more than in any other year since awarding our first grant in 2004. In 2017, we put 100 percent of every donated dollar to work to: • Assist more than 88,000 patients in accessing critical, sometimes life-saving, medical treatments. • Open more than 20 new funds in a variety of disease areas, including a large number of funds in oncology. • Maintain dozens of other funds throughout the year. • Reduce our foundation-wide overhead rate to under 3 percent. • Continue to support patients with active grants even if the fund had to be closed to new patients. The assistance that HealthWell provides to patients is based on objective criteria that we apply consistently and in accordance with applicable laws. As a charitable copayment assistance foundation, we operate within a complex regulatory framework. The regulations governing the health care industry, as well as a favorable Advisory Opinion from the Department of Health and Human Services Office of Inspector General (OIG), set standards that HealthWell must meet to stay in compliance with applicable laws. According to our OIG opinion, the Foundation may not disclose the identity of our donors, which precludes us from thanking them publicly. While our donors can select from among different funds in specific therapeutic areas to directly support (thereby affecting how many patients HealthWell can assist for a given disease), we are entirely independent and set our own parameters for the definition and structure of each fund we operate. HealthWell’s discretion as to the use of the contributions within a disease fund is absolute, independent and autonomous. At the core of HealthWell’s organizational values is the belief that CPAPs should do more than just meet the applicable legal and OIG requirements. We try to lead by example by making full and strict regulatory compliance the cornerstone of our operations. We are honored to report that, from inception through 2017, HealthWell has provided almost $900 million in financial assistance to some 320,000 patients who otherwise would have had nowhere to turn for help. We recognize the tremendous need for the vital service we provide. That is what motivates our entire organization to provide the broadest assistance we possibly can. PAGE 13 HEALTHWELL FOUNDATION 2017 ANNUAL REPORT 2017 was a year of monumental growth — thanks to you. HealthWell has become a highly regarded and trusted charitable patient assistance program (CPAP), in large part, because we focus on always putting our patients’ needs first. We do this by creating an environment in which compliance and the highest ethical standards are the cornerstone of our operations.
